A Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced a Canada returnee, Abimbola Daniel, to 11 years’ imprisonment for unlawfully importing and possessing 2.5kg of cannabis.
Justice Akintayo Aluko handed down the sentence on Monday after Daniel pleaded guilty to a two-count charge filed against him by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
The charge, marked FHC/LAG/CR/609/2026, bordered on unlawful importation and possession of cannabis.
The prosecutor, Arit Okon, told the court that Daniel imported the prohibited drug into Nigeria from Canada aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight.
